Union Square New Year's Eve Style Guide

Now that you’ve made New Year’s Eve plans (possibly at one of our swanky clubs, hotels or restaurants), you’re probably beginning to think about logistics – how will you get there (don’t worry MUNI is free and running all night), who will you take, and most importantly, what will you wear? While we can’t find you a date, we can help you with the latter dilemma. Our shops are currently filled with velvet blazers, bow ties, sparkly dresses and top hats all ripe for a dazzling New Year’s Eve celebration. Here are a few of our favorite pieces to get you looking polished and ready to party.

Ladies, New Year’s Eve is your night to shine both literally and figuratively. We suggest a bit of lace, sparkle, silk or shimmer to ring in the New Year correctly. An adorable little shop filled with all kinds of gems is Métier on Sutter Street. There, you can find a delicate black lace dress that is perfect for a nice dinner out and would look lovely at any New Year’s Eve soirée. This gussied up version of the little black dress has a jersey slip under the lacy overlay, so you’ll be comfy all night long. To complete the outfit, you’ll need the right evening bag – we recommend their Crystal Ball Clutch. Covered in two-toned tan and gold sequins with a black leather tassel, this bag is definitely ready to party. And, for a little bit of flare, you might try their rhinestone feather barrette, which would add a little sparkle without overshadowing your elegant look. Another go-to shop for a flashy dress in Union Square is BCBG, where you can choose from a wide variety of styles and prices to create the perfect New Year’s Eve look. For a night of dancing, we recommend a fun strapless tulle dress. Fading from light gray to charcoal with a cute dotted pattern, this dress makes for an adorable vintage look that will surely make you stand out on the dance floor. For a more girly look, you might try their Janie Tiered Dress in baby pink. New Year’s Eve is a great night to get in touch with your feminine side, and this dress screams girl with its rows of ruffles, lace and big bow. If you really want to go all out, their dramatic floor-length Rita Gown is a truly distinct choice. We haven’t confirmed whether this dress was named for Rita Haworth, but we can definitely picture it on the 40’s starlet with its sheer mesh neckline, lace applique bodice and mermaid cut ending in tons of black tulle. It is the ultimate femme fatale dress. But, perhaps, that’s all a bit much for you. Perhaps, you’d like to go with a sleek, masculine look. If that’s the case, we’ve got you covered too. All Saints has a whole line of tailored women’s suiting that would create a sharp look. Try their single-breasted Brompton Jacket with a classic waistcoat and a pair of sleek trousers, and you’re ready to make a stylish entrance into any New Year’s gathering.

There’s something about New Year’s Eve, it’s just one of those nights that’s so full of hope and cheer that you want to look your best and feel like a million bucks. We hope we’ve motivated you to put together a chic ensemble, whether it be from your own closet or off the racks of our favorite stores, and we wish all of our readers a very happy and healthy New Year. We’ll be back in two weeks with unique ideas to help you fulfill your New Year’s resolutions!
